Prosecutors are preparing to file a capital murder charge on Tuesday against the Utah man who authorities say held a “leftist ideology” and may have been “radicalised” online before he was arrested in the killing of Charlie Kirk.

Charges against 22-year-old Tyler Robinson are expected to come ahead of the first court hearing since he was accused last week of shooting Mr Kirk, a conservative activist credited with energising the Republican youth movement and helping Donald Trump win back the White House in 2024.
